"shockingly good bass"

"i wouldn’t of ever picked up my SO8s again if they sounded how they did out the box with stock tips ... it wasn’t untill i put some dinivus velvets on that they opened up more and created a palpable amount of slam ... usually if a IEM lacks low end i lose interest very quickly."


"The S08 is let down by its bass, which can be a bit boxy at the best of times, but this gets exaggerated quite a lot when travelling, especially on buses."


"The only downside of the S08 is the bass quality is a bit lacking. ... It lacks the DD punch in the way planar bass usually does, and at the same time it also lacks some of the bass resolution & texture compared to something like the S12 Pro, and it can sound a bit boxy at times."

"I find the S08 to be *extremely* tip sensitive. ... It didn't sound right to me except with one specific tip. ... I have about 30 or 40 tips and I tried them all. ... So I'm normally a bit hesitant to recommend it to people, as there's definitely an element of luck involved when it comes to finding the right tips. ... If I happened to only own 39 instead of 40 tips, I might have hated it."


"It's also very tip-sensitive, so some of the negative you mentioned like not being as resolving as the Delci are probably down to tips. ... It's a much more capable driver than the Delci, but it can sound pretty wonky with the wrong tips. ... I have a lot of tips and only found *one* that worked well on them (Penon Liqueur Orange). ... Most IEMs will sound slightly different on different tips, but the S08 just sounds bad to me on every tip I've tried except one. ... And I have about 60 or 70 different tips. That's one of the few times I actually tried every single one of them, because I can normally find a few good options long before I need to go that far. ... However, if you don't get the tip matching right, the bigger issues with the tuning will completely dominate over any technical advantages the driver might have. ... It's why I'm quite hesitant to recommend it to people. There's too much luck involved when it comes to the tips."


"I find it very tip-sensitive and it sounds wrong on almost all tips."

r/iemsWhat is the cheapest iem that you could call "endgame" material
4 months ago

Easily the t10 which can be under $50. There are cheaper things I have and like, but nothing that I'd actually feel like I'm actually hearing close to what I'm "supposed to". Given how much time people spend and how easily so many people spend money, I think it's really easy to justify most ppl to move up to the $80-120 range (explorer, hexa, s08/s12, whatever is suited to them) especially if they don't like t10 bright, way more options that will most likely feel like a well rounded properly equipped kit (if you find the right one for you). If you really use headphones a lot like hrs per day every day, I definitely recommend trying to go up to one of those. $300, 400 range, pretty justifiable as well, but depends on economic situation. In this jump it's not like "i was blind but now i see". More so that $300 is still reasonable for 1000 hrs of use over the years if there's noticeable improvement. Again, gotta pick the right model, if you told me to take the s08 or a roulette wheel of random $300 sets, i'd just keep the s08. More than that and you're really getting into the pro, extreme hobby, or pure luxury market, which is great but the average person who doesn't toss around $1k carelessly looking for a utility tool could end before this and re-buy in 5-10 years. There's no BIFL between advancement and possible failure/issues.

r/iemsUpgrade recommendations for Simgot EW200 user?
4 months ago

ew200 is quite a bright signature. if you like that then i'd go for a more traditional planar like s12 which will give you some of the most detial and separation in the price s08 is great but could also sound way too mellow in the treble if you liked ew200

r/iemsPlease recommend an IEM under 80$ for me - preferably planar, primarily for gaming and longer sessions 1.5+ hours(meaning sweat shouldn't dampen the filter or the sound from the iem). Is the Nicehck f1 pro good for this usecase?
6 months ago

Been using the letshuoer S08 for 10 days so far, for gaming and listening a bit of everything with them, they've been working great, I'd recommend them I've done 3-4h long sessions with them without issue Try AliExpress If you can't find them artti T10 are also a great budget option, something else I would look at are the kefine Delci

Letshuoer s08, But only with cheap KZ foam tips, the only tips that work for me on these IEMs, for some reason. Edit: Because it has a chill sound, I only use it in my free time when I want to relax.

r/iemsUpgrade or something different from my Kefine Klean: Aful Explorer vs Letshuoer S08
10 months ago

I have all three IEMs, the Kefine Klean is good for $49 and if you change the stock cable it improves the bass and treble becoming warmer if using the Nicehck GTC5 cable. The Lesthouer S08 is a very good warm planar IEM I think is a really good option with the 25% discounts on Amazon US it comes out at around $66, but check the forums on Amazon it says frequently returned there are users who report problems with the right earbud, I have not had any problems, they sound very different from the Kefine Klean, the sound is somewhat dark with soft and detailed but not extended treble. The best for my personal taste is the Aful Explorer but it is the most expensive $119.99, it has a very organic warm sound, with good bass and detailed and sweet mids with a narrow but very musical presentation and the treble is somewhat attenuated with a certain level of detail. Any of these IEMs are wonderful but if you have the money go for the Aful Explorer if you like the warm signature and good musical representation.

I've tried several IEMs under the $100 range, the Lesthouer S08, Kefine Delci AE, Kefine Klean, Sivga Que, Simgot EW300, Isn Audio H20, and Turthear Zero Red. All of these IEMs are excellent for the price paid, and the ones I liked the most are the Lesthouer S08, Kefine Delci AE, and Sivga Que. https://preview.redd.it/86zc1z7oabtf1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=397875ebb7606dfc6e3d1de604e148efbf11c483

r/iemsArtti T10 bass. Looking to discuss. _Not a review._
4 months ago

I see, think there's been only one set of planar IEMs that I know the reviewers will use "warm" on...that's the Letshuoer S08. They graph much like the AFUL Explorer...just with slightly less bass. I still value some of what reviewers will say about a set. I'm less inclined to go with their opinion on sound these days. Listening to different sets, tip rolling and experimenting with EQ... together with referencing various FR graphs helps me understand what a set sounds like TO ME.

r/iemsI’m NOT looking for a good budget IEM.
6 months ago

I compared a bunch of IEMs at audio shops. While I don't remember which IEMs sounded brighter to me, I can recommend the Letshuoer S8 for its clarity and balance of bass and treble. I listen to a lot of EDM and pop (US, K-pop, J-Pop, Eastern European, Latin/Spanish), and one of the things I compared was the, for lack of a better term, drop in Zedd's Spectrum ("we'll RUN where lights won't chase us"). The S08s had that IT factor in Spectrum, and the sounds did not bleed together. I found it was similar to the Simgot EW300, but I chose the S08 because it wasn't as bass heavy, felt more balanced, and I presumed I wouldn't be as fatigued listening to them. That being said, I do not like my music too bright. I think the S12 might have been brighter than the S08, but I felt the S08 had a crisp, clear sound that accentuated what I was looking for. I'm told my preference is V-shaped.

Simgot EW300 is great and so is the Letshuoer S08. I'll share what I wrote about it somewhere else. >I've tested both the Simgot EW300s and Letshuoer S08s in person, along with many other units that were more expensive. I'm also pretty new to the IEM scene and I bought my first pair this past summer. Both units sounded very similar to me. I'm not familiar with all the terminology, so I'll describe them the best I can. >They both had decent 3D effects with clarity. I liked being able to hear distinction between the instruments and the vocals. One of the things I looked for was the "It" factor when listening to the drop/chorus in Spectrum by Zedd. I suppose this might be the fabled "eargasm", but it basically feels like my heart dropping from striking the right chord. Both units were capable of that "It" factor. Both have solid, metal builds (EW300 is heavier than S08), and I didn't experience sibilence (harsh hissing sound) from either. I get sick of treble easily (treble sensitive?), and I felt that I was more likely to get annoyed by the EW300 than the S08, so I chose the S08. **I think you can't go wrong with either the EW300 nor the S08.** EW300 is a tad heavier than S08, but they're both made of metal and feel sturdy. I'm super happy with my S08s.

r/iemsWhat’s your single favorite IEM of all time, and what makes you love it—including its price?
3 months ago

I tried out the EW300 at a store and it was one of my final two before I ended up choosing the S08. EW300 is a solid choice! I chose the S08 over the EW300 because it emphasized the treble less, and I saw myself getting tired of the treble after long listening sessions. For what it's worth, I listen to rock, dubstep, and pop.

r/iemsAre FiiO fh3's still worth buying?
6 months ago

I currently own the FH3, which was my first IEM bought around 3 years ago. Recently gotten back into this hobby with Simgot EW300 and Letshuoer S08 in my collection. So I can only give you my experience with these 3 To me the FH3 sounds neutral-ish with slight bass boost. It can rumble sure, but you need a really good seal to notice them. Mid bass is slightly lacking the thump. Vocals are fairly forward and balanced. Treble is toned down making it not that sparkly. For accessories it comes packed with eartips so you can find your ideal fit. The pouch is decent and cable is nice but I wished it had a 4.4 option because when I swapped them to one, I can hear the details slightly better and soundstage opens up a little. One thing that stood out is definitely the fit. They are really comfortable! Passive noise isolation isn't as great (but so as the other two). Not to say the EW300 and S08 isn't comfortable, but I can listen with FH3 for a longer period without soreing my ear canals. Probably because they have smaller nozzle? Compare to my other two IEMs. To me EW300 and S08 sounds wayyy better. EW300 has better clarity and sounds more exciting. Some sibilance and female vocals can be a bit shouty (adding a foam to the silver nozzle really helps with the issue). S08 sounds warmer, treble is laid back but since the detail retrieval is so good I can still hear micro details unlike FH3 (had to really focus to hear them) All these are bassy according to many reviews, though not to basshead level. But I definitely prefer the slam on the newer models. TLDR: The newer models sounds "clearer" and has better bass Hope this helps! ☺️
